On the official site for the anime adaptation of the
manga “ Demon
Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ”, it was announced that the
final two episodes of the fourth season currently broadcast will have an
extended duration according to the following schedule:
- Episode
7 (June 23) – 40 minute broadcast block.
- Episode
8/Final (June 30) – 60 minute broadcast
block.
It should be remembered that the “broadcast blocks”
are the space that the anime broadcast occupies within the television stations'
schedule. Therefore, it cannot be said that the episodes will have the
duration mentioned, especially since we must take into account the commercial
breaks that are not seen on streaming platforms.
The third season aired during the Spring
2023 season (April-June) in Japan and featured a total of eleven
episodes, while the Crunchyroll platform was in charge of its
distribution in the West. On the other hand, Koyoharu Gotouge published
the original manga through Shueisha 's Weekly
Shonen Jump magazine between February 2016 and May 2020, compiling the
work into a total of twenty-three volumes.
Synopsis General of Kimetsu no Yaiba
Tanjirou Kamado lives with his
impoverished family on a remote mountain. As the eldest brother, he has taken
on the responsibility of providing for his family following the death of his
father. On a cold winter's day, he goes down to the local village to sell
charcoal. As night falls, he is forced to spend the night in the home of a
curious man who warns him of strange creatures that roam the night: malevolent
demons that crave human flesh.
When he finally gets home, Tanjirou's
worst nightmare comes true. His entire family has been brutally slaughtered,
with the sole exception of his sister Nezuko, who has become a flesh-eating
demon. Filled with hatred and despair, Tanjirou desperately tries to stop
Nezuko from attacking other people, embarking on a journey to avenge his family
and find a way to turn his beloved sister back into a human.
